To the tabor’s juggling strain

Till the zest of pleasure’s slain;

Then, soul-ruins, charr’d and stark,

Turn to dance before the Ark!

When the cup’s last liquor slips

Through the brain-worn cripple’s lips,

Ho! ’tis time to pray and mend,

Sure of pardon in the end.

First God’s image you outwear,

Live the beast within you bare,
